Questions & Answers
Is this a genuine original part?
This is a premium quality aftermarket replacement part from 4Drive, manufactured to meet or exceed original equipment (OE) standards for fitment and performance.
How do I know if it is compatible?
Check the "OEM Cross Reference" list. If your original part number or the number on your starter matches any listed above (e.g., AM108615 or 21163-2147), this part is a guaranteed fit.
What if my starter has 10 teeth instead of 9?
This specific bendix is for the 9-tooth CCW application. While some Kohler starters use a 10-tooth gear, the Kawasaki FD engines typically utilize this 9-tooth variant. Please count your original teeth before ordering if you are unsure.
